Today, my sister, Second Lieutenant Alison C. Unger, will graduate from Air Battle Manager school. See those bright shiny wings pinned on her uniform? She has earned them with strength, pride, intelligence, dedication and honor. I am more proud of her than words could ever say. She is one of the strongest and truest people I know. I am honored to call her sister, but even more, my best friend.

Jason and I can't be there in Florida today to see her graduate, hear her speak to her class and the other guests, or see those wings pinned oh so proudly to her uniform. But I can imagine it and oh, if ever there was a person there in spirit, it's me! I love you so much, sweet sister of mine. You have my utmost respect and admiration for the way you have persevered in this career, this calling. And just like every other big milestone in your life, today I'm the weepy big sister beaming with pride, telling everyone who will listen about what you have accomplished. Congratulations!
